THE 




MATRIX 



imagtM a son of 
cio^ be^^een Alien S and 
Bobby 8Mffr?9. with tM of 
sawral offw gam@5 (notably 
G3^ntt0t) l^ck^ on, and you 
mighi gei sorrHe idea Of what 
The Fi/Taf M^rnx IS all about 

You cofilro! Nimrod. whofli^$ 
abooi ihe galaxy ham fnainK \o 
mairw Each one is a sort of 
mini-pnson macte up ot half a 
dozen of moni scree ns fUtI of 
booby tmps, aJian guards and 
uB&lxji objects (l^)Ough you d 
thtank the ai^n guards would 
tiave iktod ihese away by now, 
wouldn't you?) Somewh&ra in 
each nnatri)c is hidden one of 
your mates, whp you have to 
tescua. Simple, r^ht? As 
atwayi wilh this sort of gajme, 
wong. 

Graphicalty. if S barefy 
diMereni lo any one of half a 
doiew other games — sem(-30 
eNed. you kioic at ihe layout 
imm the side. Nimrod is a 
Dusty Bin tookB\ik&, but wilh a 



hn more chamn ajid a miaan 
Ifttid laser pistol, com rolled via 
toybcmrd or py slack The map 
is built up of square paving 
stones, with bkxik wati$ one or 
two levels higher — fall off Ifw 
paving siones ^nd you ptummei 
inio intefstei^ space or die. 
Above the imap is a display Vtm 
Dells ydu how much energy 
Nimrod has let! for hrmself , and 
hew much he ha3 teft fqr his 
gun (sexism ai week there — 
no leason why Nimfod can"! be 
a she of course. ..} and how 
much liime is Itft — you 
effedjva^ have tOO earth 
ndmji&ft. 

You can jump up onto ttie 
waFI^ by running wm certain 
special squares which act like 
springboards- Other squares 
repel you, some drain energy 
some aa like ihe t^ck ict' 
and so on Objects include 
ihrustar packs thai allow 
Nimrod lo Jump, mtga^zappo- 
WimfTO-btesttrs ^Ich ean 
blow away walls and blocks, 
bk)cks whch can tie moved 
around lo aci as stepping 
stones 10 higher levets. paddng 
cases With ammo in, and TV 
monitor screens whtah supply 
maps ol aach matra. 

One neat option 9s to dump 
ewh SCTien to prtnter — great 



fof the mappers among usf 
What eise^ Oh yeah, the more 
you visit each KndividuBl matrix, 
the lougher ihe defences get 
— so try and get in and out in 
or>ego. 

But, whethef of not the 
piDtline Is original, and wheifber 
Of noi the graphics echo one or 
two other games around, ihe 
important thing ls how good Ihe 

Sime is — and The Fimt 
Atrix scores very highty here, 
cos It 5 fibbo^ hoHMt. n't also 
tairly dtttkult. I think f musi 
have spent more lime watching 
Nimrod getting vaporized that t 
did actually guiding the little 
bJhghler around the mathces. 
So If you enpy thts sort of 
garT>e already — and let's face 
It, you must have seen enough 
other programs very much like 
it 10 knovv — then you'll love 
this one.

PEEK — After loading Ihe garne, this option allows you to 
actually look at the graphics in memor/ Scan fofwards arrtl 
backwards through memory with O' and A It it looks crunct>ed 
or just plain garbage, you can expand the data sideways to 
make it more readable with 'O' and V\ If the data seems lo be 
oK to one side, like iho head q( ihe charactec te on one $ide

keys '5' and 8: 

POINT — This function points to the locatiton in memory where 
the program is stored and how much there is of it. 
COLOR — Inverses the colour of th^ dispiay window 
LOAD — Allows you to load in the main machine code block of 
the game you wish to inspect, (f the game i$ too large to be

Mega wow! It you're a Gee^nf/ef 
fan, then this is the utility for 
you. Havtng slaved alonfl 
through Geurrr/ef and it's 
DBep&f DungQOns, it's real nice 
to be able to get a maj> of the 
darn thing. Halt the ilrne spent 
playing the game seems to be 
ftogging do^n de^ end 
passages, only to turn around 
and see a Death on your taiit 
But don t gel in a tizzy, cos 
helpisori handl David 
McCandless has Come up with 
this wacky irrtke program which 
actually maps each leve^ for 
you and prints it out on a 
prlnterf 

Included in the program Is a 
headeriess save program, 
residing at address 31011. To 
use I his simply RANDOMISE 
US ft 31011 and ^fll save tht 
Mapper code as a header tess 
file Theres no Stan Tape And 
Press Any Key" message, so 
the tape has to be oinning 
before you press EfJTER. (For 
the lechnicatty minded, it's a 
natry iiltJe routine you might 
want to use m your own 
programs, ft goet like this: DD 
21 BO 77 11 74 01 3E FF CO 
C2 04 C9, virher^the 
underlined figures are the 
length, lo and hs bytes, m that 
order of course.) 

Method 

To use M^p^t simply connect 
your Spectnjm to a pnntar, and 
load Mapperl wrth LOAD*", 
Stop tt>e tape and load skJe 1 
of your Gaunmt tape as 



nonrral. Once teaded the 
scie«ft wtH 90 biwik Stop the 
Otf^Jnttoftftpewd in sen your 
Mapper tape agam Press play 
and the tieaderiess tiie will toad 
in. Now the game will continue 
as normal, but you It notice 
some of the character sei has 
been corrupted. Dorft worry, 
this is nommi cos the Mapper 
code occupies this area. Now 
play the game as normal but 
Pressing T will compress and 
print I he current screen io your 
printer Pressing R' wiit return 
you to ttxQ garT>e, but if you 
haven't gol enough hme to 
play, pressing V will re I urn you 
lo the game, but with aJi the 
walls turned into exits for a 
qyic3c getaway 

Basic Program 

Here's the Basic Program Type 
it in and save it first on youf 
tape as SAVE ' Mapparl " LJNE

Ever !c>okad ai th& flashy 
rainbow cojou red lettering on 
Hew&on gam&s and thought 
"Corky' I wish I could do (hat sn 
my games!" Well now you can, 
because those awfully nice 
Hewson people have atlowed 
Dominic Hobinsron, ihe exceed- 
ingly talented chap behind the 
Spectrum conversion of Uridium, 
lo share iTwilh you H»s 
progranTiming life at Hewson 
bagan when he workad on the 
team thai built Pymcur$e, and 
after Uridfum and Ihe game 
he's ju si completed . ZynBp&, 
he looks, al the tender age o1 
21 lo be on^ of ihe lop 
Spectrum programmers of 
1987. 

The Ratobow Effects 
Pfoces&ori^ a very lidy gtoiip 
Of routines, used in both 
Z/naps and Undtum to 
produce the amazing rainbow 
3D eftecis on the title and hi- 
score screens. "In sts stmptesi 
f orm> !he Rwnbow Processor 
can be used (o irtcrea&e the 




STARTIP1 



Thi6 amajifng three -channel 
sound routine is the product of 
the versatile mysk:al talent of 
Tim Fottin, the man behind the 
tunes on Mastenronic s Agent 
X and Firebird's spectacular 
Seatsnei If you thought these 
were the corkiest sonics you've 
heard on any Spoccy game, 
you tl be thrilled to «!om^ over 
this chunk of machine code 
musicf 

Tim is currentty wofkJr>g on a 
brilliant new routine for 6 
channel sound with chorus 
bass, 128K snare drum, echo 
on/otf /delay tame, ponamento. 
and full ADSRI Thisfabby 
routine is to appear on a brand 
new game cafl6d R«fS, by 
Peter Gough, so keep a look 
out tor tt in the near future 

The code begins at 400OO and 
is a mere 1340 bytes long First 
CLEAR 3999S. then LOAD 



' fay Dominic Robinsonl 



Spectrum's normal COtour 
^^ solution, giving you a 
c tierent colour on each pijtet 
(in®, in a band twenty characters 
wide »n the centre of the 
screen Wrih a httle more work, 
the bars can be animated 10 
produce some ^ery un-SpecUiim 
like effects. TT^e Rainbow 
Processor runs in interrupt 
Mode 2. to keep it synchronised 
With Ihe generation of the TV 
lecture, so that dtflerent 
attribute values are fetched for 
each pixeJ lino * 

Mithod 

To use the flaf^bow ProcBSBOf. 
you must set up a Mock of 
memory containing the colour 
lor each pijceJ ime of your 
display This btock can be 256 
bytes tong, although at most 
192 Will be used at one time, 
and It must not cross a page 
boundary. Starting at a block al 
an address which is a multiple 
of 256 will ensure that this 
condition is met. For example: 
193-256-49406. which is 
convenienily placed jUSt at>^e 
tt>e end of ttie code. Next 
POKE the address of your data 



into 491S9 aofi 49190- call the 
routine at 49153 to initialise the 
interrupta. then POKE 49188 
wrttt the number ot pixel lines 
you want displayed This value 
should Ije a multipje of B for 
best results. Any value outside 
of the range 1 to \92 wiii switch 
off the raint>ow effect until 
arwttter value is used. The 
deepef the dispEay you use. the 
less processor time will be 
available for Basic or any other 
code you have running. For this 
reason the rainbow effect can 
only reai^ be used lor title 
screens and speaaJ effects.

B a ct ift rt Now I ve always 
been tie sort of girl for a tNng 
— especialty on« thai bounces 
back. So. with a spring in my 
S!&p, I Ihnjst Ih^ thing irilO my 
Spectrimi, 

Memories of Thing are a Irttle 
vague but l seem to rernember 
that the original was a platform 
gan>e. Is thai v^at I really 
needed to put some botjnce 
back into my day? 

The aniwer is, amazingly,..

Mapping tha areas sJ^owW keep 
you occupied for days though 

Don't panic atout the ptot. 
which concerns collecting btls 
d computef program to Clear 
the evil goblin's ractory. All you 
need io know Is that this is 
scrolling -screen |ump^r>g and 
leaping of the most athteiSc 
kind. It's so good that you'tl 
forget you swore you'd never 
toed another plattonti game 
until your ^/e/ Sef ^//y 
wittier&d. 

There's a big difference 
behwen the Mmic Mimr and 
the spfing -driven one fhoijgh. 
White Willy was only tiny Thing 
is much more saUstying — a 
rtelly big. meatysprtta to get 
your leeth into. This means

thai has goi some c:haracter as 
he lumps up and down, waiting

twDunces and b&un<js through

raactions wiJi change his 
direction when he reaches a 
turning. Evanttiali'v. thoiigh, 
he II catapult out inio the wild, 
black yonder and that's wtiere 
the danger really begins! 

What ks it that makes Thing 
so furtilfing? P^rtiaps it's that 
the instrucljons tell you almost 
ziitch about whai ihe various 
platforms ar^d devices do. For 
example, there a the Bbwer. 
Now wou hj you like Io risk 
having your Thing btown? I 
amided these columns of 
tmbbles for ages unij) I 
discovered that they act as tilts 
&mi don't sap your s^rengih, as 
m feared 

There ar^ btts <A f toor that 
crumble under Thinge's spring^ 
while others may give him a 
bonus boost or sap his 5trer>g1h 
with a wait- placed weight — 
you'll never know until Thing 
head butts thoin. tt s Importaiil

relticianee thai I accepted this. 
Was il courage? Was it 
trepidation? No, it was the Ed 
sayirig "0*1 grow up you Iwonk, 
it*6 only a gamef" Taking no 
chanc^p riowever. i ba^d the

before starling the game. 
Sudcfenly. out of the comar of

window started to open 1 fell 
something craepir^ up my. , . 
Whoops! Sorry about that. I 
got a bit carried away. Mr

te a Gaamtet'Siyy^ game by the 
' ftaniJam Corporatidn, the 
tympany res|>onsible for such 
■pms as ValkyriB 77, 
WKiiarf-^ome and fjrptofefs. It's 
f mainly single coloufed, with flip 
serein instead of scrolling, 
which woutd surely have ruined 
Vh& odours had there be^n 
aity. 

You controt the bespectacled 
Ml Weems as he travi^s

various things and wiping out 
everyone in hie way. Has 
sypt^ied with a gariN: gun, so 
he can dish out exorpisrna St 
Rambo-stvie, and a garlic ptll 



I makes him immur 
attack for a while He can also 
turn vampy himself, and his 
strength Is restored by various 
blood tK3tties littered around 
the complex. Garlic bombs kilt 
everything within a ceftain 
radius, but not th© big St^-V 
heraetf p oh no. For that you 
need a maltet end a stake 
{Rare or weit rforo? fd). a 
cross^ a mirror and a very large 
pteoe of garlic. Tr>ese mm 
dumped around the six fevelSp 
and are ysuatly wett guarded. 
Onoe the She-Vampire's been 
scfatched out. you have to 
skeciaddle fast, before her 
minions caich m ttiat 
5on^ thing is wrofsg and go out 
(literally) for your btood. 

Iflfeem^ is good fun, even If 
its colour scherne Occasionally

^^^ rlpea, Corky, old 
f crumpet, this is 

I serious 1 

\ According to my 

^^m^ man at the FO. 
this Chameleon cad's built 
himself some Rubbertronlc 
Ray guJQblns, which he's 
plannin; to train on 
London and lay waste to 
aJl that we hold most 
dear! And Wb staitin' at 
lord's H what! 

You know what this 
meang, don't you? Every 
wmg collar in the kingdom 
will go all wobbly. Upper 
lips will be stilf no longer: 
Worst of all, this ray 
thingamiiig will radically 
and unpredictably alter 
the bounce oi a cricket 
ball. It's ^crilege, Corky, 
siCTilegef 

What Hor 

There's only one thing 
we can do — send in 
Samip & Co. SehasUan^ 
93rd Viscount Stiffiip's 
your man — a total 
pillock p of course, but he 
went to the right school, 
and he can always pick 
the googly (oo-er]. His 
assistants are a rum bunch 
too. Professor Braindeath 
— shady chap — a Hun, 
some feller at the club told 
me. Then there's Colonel R 
G BargiOp or old RGB as 
we knew him in India — 
sound blighter. And 
finally, some female 
Johnnie, Miss Palmyra 
Primbottom — the gal who 
put the 'p' into pith 
helmet*. Quite a team. 
Their only clue — the 
entire Banamian rubber 
crop has gom missing. So 
for Stifflip and Co., it's off 
to the island of Banamia 
to Inirestlgate. 

GmkI Shot! 

When you leadi 
Banamia. you'll find it 
looks remarkably like an 
icon driven arcade 
adventure. Amazing, but 
ime. You'll find you can 
control one character at a 
timSp with his/her current 



location Oluatrated in the 
bottom of two frames (the 
top is his/her location on 
the last go). You move 
your chmracters around, 
solving clues, often 
getting killed, just as in 
any adventure, but 
occasionally you come 
across Count Chameteon's 
henchmen p who wander 
around the game wearing 
curiously striped tunics. 
These grim characters will 
inevitably biff you, leading 
you to select thd BIFF icon 



and pushing you into 
some arcade(ish) action. 
When biffing (boffing is 
another matter) your 
options are to do a bunk, 
hit below the belt (I say I), 
or go for a straight punch. 
Running away will only 
work while your energy 
holds out. while offing the 
blighter in the Urals is 
effective but not quite the 
done thing Actually 
you're allowed to do it a 
few times « so it's best to 
save up your gooUe- 




mashers until the andf If 
you go for a straight punch, 
you'll probahly need more 
than a couple of hits to 
knock the blackguard 
flying 

TMdIttPlpI 

WMe not biffing, you 
can chinwag with 
characters you meetp trade 
vrith them, even bribe 
them on occasion, all 
using the icon system. 

What Binary Vimon, in 
Oie shape of programmers 
Rupert Bowatei and Paul 
Morris p is trying to do is 
many the standard 
adventure and arcade 
formats together in a way 
that hasn't really been 
tried before — and all with 
amazing graphics, as you 
can see. What's a real 
change is that the Speccy 
conversion is not 
noticeably inferior to the 
Commodore (ptui) original, 
There isn't a huge 
adventure pot — just 
enough to keep you bu^ 
" but loads of nice httle 
touches make up for this. 
If another character is in 
trouble, he/she cries 
■HELP'. Characters say 
'HELLO* if you move onto 
the same location (you 
don't actually see them on 
screen) If beaten to a 
pulp, characters are out of 
the gamOp and prison bars 
appear on their icons 

The Spectrum version 
isn't quite finished as yet, 
but it should be on the 
streets when you read 
thia. It s all totaEy ripping, 
beezer and topping to 
boot — fascinating 
gameplay. corky graphics 
and an original idea. So 
chocks away, and 
remember, chaps, play upp 
play up and play the 
game I

Outflanking 



Outflanking (oo-er) on a simple 
ttank is used when the other 
flank of Ihe enemy is protected 
by a natural feature, like a wide 
river (diagram i ) Check that 
your arrrry is stronger ihan the 
enen^'s but surpfise can 
eompensaie for lack of 
numbers. A quick ourflanking 



rnovemenJ can well succeed 
even if your force is weaker. 
First engage the enemv front 
lir« in comtjat, but cton t 
attempi to break through, as 
I his keeps him occupied and 
may even tempt him to bnng 
up h«s resen/es. Then bring 
your resents around the 
enemy"$ open flank Engage 
»m enemy rsaen/es in combat 
and at the same ttme attack the 
enemy flank from behind or 
from the s^de. This puts them ki 
a dtsadvaniageous posiiion. as 
they haven't got time lo swing

Altarrmtirtg with rhrs. yDu 
depioy men on The batlbfiolicl 
Thera s varied terrain and three 
fypes of fighting uni1, which is 
where your tactical ingenuity 



comes in 

At simiegic tevel the screon 
shows a map of Britain, wilh 
armies frenziedly mobilizing 
You n0e0 to b^ ntppy on the 
keybc^rd as you prepare your 
forces for conflict As you move 
your cursor, a close-up view 
scrota in a window on fhe teti 
o1 the screen When you re 
feady to fight, move your 
cursor on to the enemy unrt 
and press the challenge k^y. 
The chaltenge rnay or may not 
be laken up, though we never 



discovered why or why r>oi. If it 
Is. the game proceeds 1o the 
tactical level The display 
chanqes to a map of the

a rapid shoot-out between 
opposing forces All gocd fun, 
if you like to play your

CONFLICTS 2 



A game that takes you lo ttie 
btue. blue Pacific to see how 
Uf>cle Sam helped wm the 
war in the ea^t Though both 
games are set In the same 
area and in the same perkKJ, 
they couldn't be more dftterentt 

BATTLE FOR 




6a«te for Midway is atl 
I'out a battle that marked a 
larning potni m the war in the 
^^^^ tt was the first time 
^^^ffin^i^'^' suffered a major 
Cteleai. The y-jme captures 
much of the atmosphere o1 
Steaming ilaadily ahead for 
hour upon hour, scanning the 
haftnn fi^r distant batttedi^ 
Or you may be pairolttng the 
skies, kei>[;Hing a weather eye 
oper^prtfese te^i-i^^ signs of 
JaMPsa shipping Then^ 
suaow^, out of Iha blue, 
thetes a Japanes^^ naval force 
ahead, of a bunf ^ ? bombais. 
and the msAion tx jins. Before 
youVe had tin^ iq do much 
about it, the acs^on is over and 
you re left to clear urp the 
damage 

Much of th€! Pac.^.v. P.O. r-as 
like this aitd HiiS game is & fair 
simulation (apart from having 
no radar). But does thit make rt 
k^ -^^ 



a good wargame? We fed<on 
not, In practice, the tactical 
eietnent is loo fiJight. as you 
only have ten units to control. 
Once you ve given ih^se their 
orders, there's nothing much to 
do accept wajt for the Japs to 
attack. 

The action Mmea in the form 
of arcade screens, which arent 
optional Vbuf success in this 
game depends toe much on 
dexterity and not enough ont 
brampower. 

K the flat-top i& your scene, 
or perhaps if you long for a 
change from fooi-siogging, 
Mtdway could be worth a try 
We were glad to return to dry 
land! 

IWOIMA 

Ttie other game on this tape. 
twoJimo, emptoys much the 
same system as FatkfBnds 82 
The aim is similar loo — you 
have to land on and capture an 
island I wo Jima, a tiny voteantc 
island p was heavily fortified by 
the Japanese Lying 700 mites 
from Japan. i was on the track 
of I he US bombing raids, and 
usad as a forward base (or 
iighfer attacks against the 
tjombers In the hands of the 
Americans, it woukJ tsecome <in 
important air-base for 




hammering home the ever- 
intensify tng bombing of Japan. 
This was a bitter, hard -fought 
battle, one of Ihe costliest in 
human lives of the whole war. 
For months the Japanese had 
fortified the Jsland, diggir^ out 
tunnels and gun positions in 
tt>© solid rock 

In the game, as in real life, 
the Japanese units aie inv^SFble 
until they reveal themselves by 
attacking. They remain firmly in 
their secure bunkers and are 
very difficult to etiminaie We 
played the game following the 
historical sequence. Landing 
r>ear Mount Suhbachi. 
advancing across the island to 
cut A off and attacking ih^ 



htfp jiTw 

mountain fodtlications tiefMly. 
Then we captured the airtieW 
and advanced aior>g the north 
shore. We won in t^ end. but 
only ^ftar a hard struggle. 

There^s plenty to do in this 
gart^. and the simple three key 
control system helps keep the 
game (and the Marines) 
moving.

HACKING 






<i.^* 




Need a hand with your hacking? ZZK J, the Prize POK£r*s 

here to show you how. 



^m ug ust aJmad y ami 
flH there's still no sign 
flf^L of a realiy mega* 
AK hack for '87. but I 
^^^ft haven t given up 
hope yet While rm waiting 
jVe ha0 plenty to do reading 
all your letters about ihe 
Hackers Beginners Guide in 
the June issue, most of them 
complaining that you wanted 
more Wetl, I couldni say 
everyihing I wanted to in the 
space but 1 did iry to cover 
evarylhing a novce h aether 
needs to know to get started. 

I didn't assume any prior 
programmmg or hacking 
expenence and J did warn 
you thai you d need to do a 
btt o1 learning to get started. 
(Like any foreign language, 
you have to learn a bit before 
you carl have even a simple 
cx>nversation}. The article 
was meant as a pointer and a 
stimulus; the pointer showmg 
you the direction and the 
stimulus to heSp you on your 
way. \rtmen I started ( didn't 
even get thatf {No doubt you 
iived io a ca/dt)oa/d tox inV 
miaate ' road f d. ) You'll 
have to persevere, though. 

II s last like a crossword 
puzzle; the more you do 
them, the better and quicker 
^u become — and even the 
best puzzler gets stuck on 
some clues and has to work 
around ihem. 

Anyway, belofe we gel 
bogged down, let s up and 
into this month s POKEs.

^5^ M to me «xlds on you 
gettmfi a reply or 
apfMrnring in print. 
If you enclose an sae ycsull certainly 
gtt a reply, you have my word as a 
gentleman -ind si f el tow-ad venturer^ so 
if you ever wnte with an Me and don't 
hear back from me it means your 
letter's probably gone astray in the 
post so iftrTite again. 

If you don't enclose an sae then you 
won*t get a reply, $impk as that. Why 
so mean? Well, the Ed was stopping 
the stamps out of my wajges, and if you 
work out the cost of six trilhon stamps 
every month youll realise this is Not A 
Good Idea, at least not as far as Vm 

But if you don't enclose an sae then 
ru do my best to answer your 
questions in th€ mag, but there are 
more letters comina in than room so 1 
can't promise anything. 

Of ct*urse anyone who wins the 
coveted Manuel-of- the- Month Award 
automatically gets a mention, and this 
time it's Ken Haley of Sunderland 
who says he got his Spectrum about 
six m^Hiths ago, has at the last count 
bought 2G adventures, and is stuck in 
every one of them. Well done that 
man. A few dues to help you out? 



Wellp I don't want iu i^poil y<mr

you're stuck wiih tfir tin hestra waiting

say^ there surely must be more than 
six locations in Advmturrknd^ Biare 
surely are. and you'll find them if you 
type in things other than single 
compass directions. Trj CLIMB TREE 
first, then later CHOP TREE with your 
rusty but trusty axe. How to stop

Well, what would you do? That's right,

Ian Sealy of Rugby offers the 
following sequence of commands to 
solvt the beginners adventure in [jctrd 
Of The Singsin seven moves — HEY, 
E. E, E. WEAR KING, E. TAKE OFF 
RING- Ian also says that he knows the 
Fourth Protocdi^ one of my blindspots 
(it's a £air cop), so he offers a few 
dues to get you (or me) going in part 
one. "The code is needed im entr>' to 
Blenheim and Blenheim s number is 
found under a file called Telephone . 
Watch Abbs and TURN STANISTAV. 
Cross reference names on d^Kuments. 
Watch Faulkner, Sopwiih and Allen- 
File on Faulkner is available. Rinj; car 
phone, se^irch flat, arrest A!lf i; sind 
transfer him" I've reprinted that as 
quite a few people have got my 
blindspot too and they've asked me 
how to get started in that one* Thanks. 
Ian. 

Paul Drynd^Je of DaJbe^M^i? has ^rn 
interesting disease, or so he tells me. 
It's called Seabasa DiUaitis and the 
symptoms at€ that you can't stop 
playing that FirebkiKj adventure. The 
cure is how to make a pancake, what 
mt i$ it if you do make it. and how do 
you get past the TV camera? If you've 
got the bow], milk^ ^gg and flour then 
you can MAKE RANCAKE. and don't 
foi^et at some point to TOSS 
PANCAKE, 

Philip Hancock ol East Ham 
reckons 1 should restrain myself. So 
Vm been told, Philip, but let's stick to 
the subject of adventures. Philip's 
complaint is that I've recently printed a 
few solutions to newish games, like 
/)rEia*;iiand TTu Cohur O/Magk, and 
he says if you've had to wait a while to 
buy the game, then see a solution in 
print almost at once, it'$ hard to resist 
the temptation to look at it when you're 
stniggling 0ver some problem. Other 
peopte also tee the solutionSp play 
through them and then boast about 
solving the advenlurra themadves. 
Not Eaifp says Philip. He thinks t 
should wait at least a ye^r before 
printing a full solutionp and meanwhile 
concentrate on giving solutions to the 



really tough problems, like the recent 
map of the GobJins' Dungeon did. 
Others to try in that line would be the 
start of The Famtastk Foru^and the end 
^me in FhmlMissum. 1 think there^s a 
tot of sense in what Ptulip says, and 
would welcome other readers' thoughts 

— also suggestions for Really Toi^ 
Problems that you might like to see 
featured. 

Davkt Mclntyn of Sheffield says 
he's having a competition to find the 
woret recently-released adventure. 
Semi ^finalists at the moment are Netm 
J*?wand MmtefS 0/Tke Umverse, and 
David says the letter's so ted it doesn't 
even accept some of the words the 
documentation tells you to use! He 
also says Necris Dome is so boring that 
it's almost unplayable. Stmng words 

— anyone vit^lently agrt^e or di^agl^ee? 
Or want to suggest other contenders? 

Stephen SsUer of Ipswich just 
wants to know the right words to 
board the train in ThtSfmw^indryKfy. 
That could be another idea for a 
regular section — Awkward Inputs. In 
this case the answer is CLIMB IKTO 
TRAIN. Anytime I come acros.^ 
something that 1 think is a faulty 
parser rather than a faulty' player, 1 
won'! bother to print it backwards. 
And no doubi my resident critics^ like 
David Mclntyre and Philip Hancock 
will complain about that now. You just 
can't wm. Who'd be an adventure 
writer, eh? 

Another letter from an Ipswich 
direction comes from Ben Wythe of 
Willow Farm. When Hen*s not farming 
willows he's getting stuck in 
adventure$ like Sft^ TfefrAdivwfefrand 
1942Mi$mm. In tM flr^t Ben asks 
what use the pound coins are: 
TROPRIA TA PMART OT EVIG. In 
the second. what*s the safe 
combination: KALLOC DAER/SEGAP 
NRUrr/KOOB DAER. 

Matthew McConkey of 
McBirmingham wants help on KiQkth. 
Wiat to do with the compost? Well, 
going S/S/E from 'Near the entrance to 
an ele^^tor" you should TSOPMOC 
OTNO RETAW RUOP then TSOPMOC 
NX BLUB TNALP and TIAW till it 
SMOOLB and fonns SDEES. 

Next a letter written by three p^^ple 

— now that*s clever. The three are all 
from Saltash and go by the impresisive 
names of P^ul and David van 
Beverein and Aftiwi Dadds . Many 
thanks to this dynamic. , . no. * aony. 
that's a duo. isn't it? En thanks to this

A thorny letter from Rum GtaliRm- 

who doesn't givsi* hi^ adddre&& but asks 
loti of questions about submitting 
adventures. Do Level 9 ajid Mosaie 
accept ^mes sent in to them? Well, 
Mosaic is in the business of planning 
and packaging adwntures bas*d on 
existing book^p so it wouldn't be 
interested in an ad^'enture of your 
own. and La^ 9 has only ever 
pubiished one game from an outside 
aulLhor. En^ratd Isk, &o 1 think 
chance aire bo high against you a^ to 
be out of sight. Stick to trying the 
budget compani^. Would Ocean 
accept your adventure? Again, based 
on what it's published so kr your game 
"AnDuid havi^ to be mega -brilliant to 
stand a chance of Ocean looking at it. 
Would vou have to write a novella to go 
with it? No you wouldn't. And a totally 
different question from Russ to end 
with — which i^ correct, Sweevo*s 
Wmidor Sweevo*s WkirUd? They both 
are, Ri^s, depending on whether 
jfoii've got a 4SK or 128K veraion. 

A similar question to some of those 
comes from Robert Shaw of Rossfuie. 
who says thai he's hoping to write an 
idveiture based on the fdm Terminaior, 
but wr^nders what pennisabn he needs 
as regards cop>Tiftm . You donl 
actually need any pennission simply to 
write the game for your own amuse- 
ment, but as soon as you think about 
selling it to anyone, or even giving a 
copy to a fri*?nd. then you need 
permission finom the copyright owners. 
In this case it would prol^bly be the 
film s distributors* Orion Pictures , and 
you should write to them to ask who 
owns the computer game ri^ts. 

Robert alsio has some more stfaiRht- 
forward quesuons. such as how to get 
anywhere on the boat in Matt Lucm. If 
you've filled it with petroL got the 
ignition kev and read Lhe map, you 
iboiild the^ head S/S/E/E/S/SW/S/W/ 
S/S. And what about the elixir of life in 
Imagffuitum^ First fire the gun in the 
tank in game 4-

Going from strength to 
strength is the monthly 
publication from HAD 
Services, forrr^erly The 
Arfvcfttuner'f Hofrdbook but 
retided quite slnnply as What 
Nowl From a prcNduction 
point of view, tfils is definkely 
the best of the adventure 
magaxineSt though it now 
costs, more tn order to pay 
for the glossy covers and 
high-quality print and maps 
Innlde iu 80 psgei. Play-by- 
mail strategy and wargames 
are now covered, as wetl as 
reviews, though the bulk of 
each issue it devoted to 



solutlofis^ maps and cluei fc^ 
as many adventures as they 
can pack in. The good maps 
are a welcome addition, 
though an annual subscription 
sounds high at £t6. StW, you 
could be doing yourself a 
favour if you Invested £1.50

The mag also carries ads 
for the iimaller software

what more could you ask 
for... a free adventure for 
Spectrum owners! The game 
has very gei>erously been

them exceedingly useful. 
'Finisher' enibles you lo 
incorporate a charicter lel of 
youf own design, as v^eH ^% a 
trtle picture. 'Opiin^iier' 
reclaimi the memory that GAC 
itictf can sometimes waste if you 
try to remove ihings from your 
database. 'Saved Game Creator' 
allows you to test the adventure 
from any room» tarrying any 
objeaj and with counters and 
flags set to whatever values you 
chooie. The Essential Myth layn 
it'i found this very useful in 
checking linkii between multi- 
load adventures. There's ^Iso a 
font designer to use with the 
'Finisher' program^ ind other 
handy little routines as well. 
The sanr^e company is also 
working on The Essen tjoj GAC 
Notes, a 1 6^ page booklet 
covering some GAC information 
(GAC FAX?) that isn't available in 
the instructions or in Incentive's 
own handbook. Having seen a 
pre-production copy, I can 
confirm that there's some 
interesting stuff in there, but as 
The price hasn't been finalised 
yet you'll have lo write for 
detail s^ 

^Talking of Incentive, 
^what's all this about yet 
another new adventure label 
coming from that cotr^jjar^y? 
CaJled Double Gotdp di)s wHI 
feature two GAC'd 
adventures for the prke of 
or*e. In this case the price of 
one being E7.9S. The first of 
these double- blUs won'l be 
out till the autumn, but 
Spectrum owners will Hav« 
plenty t)d watcfi out fqr 
before then as the ontglna!

Another Gold Medallion

ready in about Juty or August 
according to tncentJve» and 
this will be Koryu/o, written

THE BIG SLEAZE 



You're a dick. A private 
dick . The name on your 
office window says you're 
SPILLADE INVem^ 
CATIONS. In most Privata 
Eve's offices the writing on the window 
(s backwards, done fmm the uutHide. 
You paihted yours from the inside so 
you can read it okay. Strange^ but 
business has dropped off since you did 
it. 

Business is about to pick up thou^gh. 
The obligatory female enters your 
office one rainj night and casts the 
obll^tory siunningly beautiful 
^ilhoutftte on the doon You jusi knew 
there was somethins different about 
this wuman. Maybe it was the way she 
kicked the door off its hinges ipsiead of 
using the handle. She tells you her 
tstt)r>. You listen. Well, it's easier that 
way* Seems she'd come to New Yoric to 
meet her (ather. She hadn't seen him 
in years, but he'd made gcMid in the Big 
Apple and arranged a reunion meal at 
Joe's Diner. That was two weeks ago. 
She's been waiting ever since and he 
still hasn't sho\^^. Meanwhile sbe*s 
suffering from coffee poisoning. 

You take the c&se. You also take the 
cheque for a hundred bucks she gi^^es 
y<iu tm acc<)unt. Maybe you ghoutd put 
it in the office safe, the one that's large 
and pig- shaped. The tail makes for a 
good handle hut they^ could have picked 
^ better keyhole. Anyhow, the safe is 
leaked, and your bunch of skekion 
keys don't fit it. Some private eye. 

As you head out of the door a dog 
arrives and dumps stsmething on the 
carpet. He should take lessons in good 
manners from the pig. No, it's okay, 
it's another cheque, a bit of a 
photograph, and a note. The note is in 
code, though the word 'Bollards' is 
pretty conspkuous. No trouble 
de<:odJng it. You're Sam Splllade, after 
alU even if it dtses say M. Hammer on 
your lighter. 



Outside on the streets* New York 'is 
waiting for you. So is your car* So is 
someone else j udging by what falls out 
of the door: a red stick with a fuse on 
the end. This is dynamite. Maybe you 
can stick the stick somewheie else 
later. The car is an easy -start model 
— just join the two pieces of wire 
ic^ether. Where to go? Maybe Joe's 
Diner. Maybe the addre^ on your 
bank book. Maybe first you better lock 
the office before you leave. Security? 
No. anyone sees that pig you1I be 
hughed out of business* Where do you 
think you ^re. Centra] Pork? 

What's happening at the hank? 
Nothing, dumbo, it's six am. What's 
happening at Joe's Diner? E^^n less. 
Time to visit the men^s mom. 

You want some low-down? In Tki 
Big Sk^e you got three pait^, you got 
Fergus McNeillp you got laughs, you 
got maybe not the haj^est problems 
you ever had to solve, you got some 
fancy (jmll stuff, you got Some chick 
with tbe cute Mme of Anna Pbpkess, 
yoM^,..yougot no Judith Child... 
what s this, wj^t kinda trick they 
trying to play, these Delta 4 goys? 
Better load up Sceptkid3^n6 check 
through the Teletext news pagra. . . 
never mind the Irish jokes, never mind 
the Piranha compo, newr mind your 
weird eating habits (1 mean who cam 
ever prefer a Wendy to a WhoK«r?) , * . 
we wanna know wimt's happening. . . 
Judith Child is. . .well, f guess ihat*s 
bad news and good news. What is it? 
Buy the game, dumbo, buy the game.

' THE TEMPLE OF TERROR 



Afil^lifiU fantasy adventtire? 
Ian I pr^ume. And quite 
right, loo. With his wriiing 
and ideas partner, Liviiig- 
Stone, St ef\T Jackson- he 
penned this originally as book 14 in the 
Penguin Fighiing Fantasy varies of 
Games book^, ihoygh if Penguin put as 
mmy faults into its books ai software 
houses do into their games then it 
would have gone out of bysiness long 
ajo. 

But fir^t the story. MaitK>rdns is the 
eifll one, uho "tould make plants 
wither and die dimply by snapping his 
Bw^f he cmdd mBkt ammaJs obey 
him with his piercing gaze."* Sounds 
just tike the Ex Ed. Needless to say, 
you're the poor sap who's vojunte^^recl 
to do him in (Malbordus, that k), with 
a bit of help from the old wizard 
Yartromo. He gives you a spell book 
contaming four of his greatest hits; the 
speUs of Sleep, Dart, Shrinking and 
Inoodkiy (or Incendaiy as the

pfogr^m spells the spell). Each can be 
summoned by using the command 
CASTp and can be used once only- 

The screen will look very familiar if 
you've seen an Adventuresoft game 
before (and who hasn't?), but after the 
oomplenties of Rebel Pkimtm6 Kaykth 
we're back to the more linrar type of 
adventure here. There*s the now- 
famitiar instant problem when you're 
set down al tht- start by the Catfish 
Rivtr with some pirates in immediate 
pursuit, but It shoiikln't take you inore 
than a few moves to shake them off. 

Many of the commands listed on the 
ifistnictions don't vmrk. such as GET 
ALLp DROP ALL and even the simple 
LOOK* or 1 for inventory. One 
command that does, though, and it's 
welcome* is BOM* or Back One Move, 
which at least giv^ you more than one 
go at those problems needing £airiy 
quick solutions ^ 

A few moves into the ^rubland and 
1 enicouniered a Harpy. A Harpy? 
What's this, one of the Mara Brothera 
or one of the seven dwarvM? *The 
raior sharp claws of the Harpy slash 
the air abow your head." Maybe not 
Ofte of the dwarves after all but 
straightforward i^iolence saw this 
crature off, and several of the ^rly 
encounters arc sorted out in this rather 
unsatisfactory way: one opponent falls 
to the swoitl but not the bow and 
arrow, another lo the trident but not 
the sword, so there's quite a bit of 
boring giiesswork involved. 



The first few geiiuine problems are 
quite neatly done, though, and drew 
me into the game. . .there's a location 
sneakily hidden in the scrubland p and a 
burning hut that sheds some light 
elsewhere p alimg with a golden eagle 
rescue senice, a battle with a 
'terodactyrp a thirst- makmg desert* a 
baaiUsk ^th a petrifying stare and a 
meeting with Aojul the nomad who has 
a who)e range of tempting goodies for 
sale. 

The prae has more bugs than the 
ins^gct hou^ at London Zoo, though . 
The first time I tried to CAST DAJfT I 
was told both that the spell w^^Mted 
and that 1 had already used it. There 
are others, along with spelling 
mistakes such as a new varlntlon on 
the it*sfib confusion: 'The spear piarces 
its* flesh' and Its* nocturnal habits'. 

But having said all that. 1 enjoyed 
the adventure more than most and it 
passed the test of ""Will 1 want to go 
back to it again?" That's why the 
peraontl rating's higher than the marks 
for the adventure's different aspects. 
But will someone at Adventureioft 
please buy a dictionar) ?

BULBO AND THE IIZARD KING' 



The Rochdale Baliog strikes 
aKain, as the name Zt-nobi 
&jplware hides KS*s ver^' 
own 'El Supremo' John 
Wilson* who's released 
another everyday tale of a seeker of 
gold courtesy of Us try sty QuUt. 

There you are, as Bulbo, sitting 
down and about to enjoy some cjxoa 
and cakes when- . . oh no. . , it's that 
wretched knock at the dix?r whkh can 
only mt^an one thing — trouble! Why

'1 swor'ijiKnan 



can't people l^ve us adventurers in 
peace once m a while? Do Ibey ^kk 
we like always having to go out and 
save the worid and find treasures? 

Grand Alf <Us4Bte^. though. You did 
so well on your bat adventure, he tells 
BulbOp that head's another one for you! 
Rats. He goes on at the press of a key 
to leU you that you have to go out and 
ddieat Stratosp who sounds to me more 
hie the owner of the Rodidale Kebab 
Take-Away than an evil tyrant. So 
Grand Alf gives you a crystal daggCTp 
tells you to gel on with it and beitprB 
off down to the local lake for a spot 
of fishing. Typical. 

Your quest begins at the local 
market pbioe« where you can choose 
up to four companions for your trip — 
but who to choose from the like^ of an 
elfp giant, wuard, thief, swordsman 
and so on? And should you make room 
for the moth-eaten donkey you might 
find if you venture to the lower-daas 
district of the town = that's if you can 
find it, as not all exits are marked. 



liuilk^ shows the usual influence 
finom Fergus McNeill, which is no bad 
thing in itself, and stretches the 
facilitit^ of The Ovr^/ somewhat to 
includt* commands like PAKTi' to tell 
you who you've gol with you at any 
time. RAM SAVE. ASK THE GIANT 
TO HELP and even, weVe a&&urt*d, 
LOWER THE DONKEY DOWN THE 
W^LL. The mind boggle at such 
desperation, but that's usually what I 
feel when confronted by a Wilson 
adventure p and this one's no exception. 

Not for the faint- hearted* but 
definitely one for those with a BoggU- 
like sen^ of humour. Of cour^ ! had 
to ask John Wilson why he decided to 
call his ioftware label Zc^obi, ''Because 
it's the ratne of my cat," he said. All 
ointribution^ to ihe eat food fund no 
dwbt gratefuUy received.

SHADOWS OF AAORDOR 



Mdboumi' Hyu:i^o did itself no 
fiivouni when it release the 
TiT^tpaTtoi L&rdOfTIm 
Rings, and although it w^% 
inivitably going to sell wfeU 
the game wa^ also criticise for its 
$|dwnes$, strange and kfigthy loading. 
m exG^aive number of bugs and wmv 
gnphics which were totally out of 
characti^r for ToM^^ world. 
ThankfiiUy Mdboiime House has 
learned from its mistakes, and Shadows 
OfMordar\ whkh follo\%^ the second 
book in the U^ Of The Rings trilpgy, 
The Tiw T^wer^. h an improvement* 

The adventure's only in one part this 
timet and 12SK owners have their own 
speriai enhanced graphics version, 
while 48 K owners will have to settle 
for a text-only game with a file of the 
itIustiBttona on l other side of the tape. 
In this one yoy only get to be Sam or 
Frodo (or both) as you coniinue the 
quest to kill the Dark Lord Sauron, 
nop^yUy this time taking the story as 
far as an encounter ^Ith the spider, 
Sielob. You're advised to keep a map. 
birt 'Be warned. "" the instniclions tetl 
you. "maps cannot entirely be idied 
upon."" 

At the start Sam's equipped with i 
sword, matchbox, backpack, cloak* 
little bo^, rope and a supply of elven 
bread* while Frodo s tugging around a 
sword, cloak, the infamous ring and a 
small phini of clear oystaK At least I 
think that's what they're carrying, as I 
started to have my doubts when 1 came 
across a gnarled twisted old tree. I 
UlDughL iL might be worth tmng to get 
Sim and Frodo to hit it for me with 
their swords. Unfortunately ndlher of 
them could ^^ a sword to hit the tree 
with. An inventory confirmed they 
were indeed both cany big a sword. 
Maybe my description wasn't exact 



enou#. a-^ Sam was carrying a 
beautiful small sword. HIT TREE 
WITH BEAUTIFUL SMALL SWORD. 
"Sam doesn't see any beautiful smaU 
sword.** Aaargh! Even more frustrating 
when you discover that it's the verb in 
the command that's causing the 
problem. BREAK TREE WITH 
SWORD is what works. 

Initially there are just s^^ven 
k>catkns to explore i and your next 
mow seems lo be to somehow set 
down the cliff face, wWch rt^ujres a 
compleic bit of problem- solving- All 
very logical and you should get there 
eventually — but be prepared to keep 

experiinenting and to smt g^mes 

regularly and methodically. At some 
point, loo, you* II have to deal with 
Smeagol, who seem^ to be wandering 
round at the start of the game under 
Uie conb^ol of the program. Hei?^ to 
me, the solution to the problem seems 
to be a little unfair as you have to do 
two acts m qukk succession — the 
real time nature of the program sees to 
It that Smeagol runs away if the second 
one Isfi't inatantly typed in, and 
despite my hanging around for a few 
dozen inputs, Smeagol didn't return so 
t had to resume an earlier game <long 
re- load) and hav^ anoih«^ go at him. 

Detpite thes^ mo^ii (aiid you know 
I like a good moan now and again] I 
Lhounht Si^idem^ Of Mordof was very 
much better than ij?rd Of The Rings. 
Response was pretty quick in the 48K 
versiou and for oi>ce death doesn't 
seem to lurk round every comer aiMl 
require constant re- loads of the whole 
program 

The vpcabMteiy has hetfn extended, 
it seems, and you can now isstie 
lengthy commands to another 
character rather than just single 
comrrtands as before. You can switch 



from one character lo the other if 
you've ele«:teii to play bolh parts, 
though rd have tho^g}lt one command 
rather than the three opiiotis given 
would have been enou^ (FROTSO/ 
BECOME FRODO/T AM FRODO all 
work.) 

Shadows QfAf^mlar reminded me of 
the pleasure of playing The Hobbittor 
the fii^t timen but with added 
complexity. Problems can be aotved in 
several different wayii. there are 
various blind alleys and red herring^, 
and even if you solve the game 1 think 
you'll find yoursetf going back to play it 
agam and tr> ing dHment tactics. 1 
know many of you, like me, were 
disappointed with Lmd OfTht Ring^n 
but do give this one a try as Melbourne 
House has got hd of most of its bad 
hobbitSp
